Windows 11 launched an update that will allow users to directly link their computer to their Android phone through a mobile hotspot.
The “Phone Link” feature of Windows 11 will soon allow laptops and desktop computers to instantly connect to your smartphone.
Phone Link, which was made public as a component of the Windows 11 25231 preview build for Windows Insiders, will now enable the hotspot on your smartphone right from your desktop.
When your phone is within range it will appear in the Wi-Fi network list on your PC where a single click turns on the phone’s hotspot and connects to it.
According to Android Authority, Windows Central has reported that Microsoft is now releasing a Windows 11 preview release that is exclusively available to the company’s Insiders on its Dev Channel.
With this upgrade, users will now be able to use the Windows Wi-Fi bar to instantly link Windows 11 to the mobile hotspot on their phone.
The feature is comparable to Apple’s macOS and iPhones, which enables seamless hotspot connection without requiring passwords between the two devices.
The Phone Link feature, however, is presently restricted to Samsung smartphones with Android 12 and above.
